Weekend Polls are looking bad for Obama...

Indiana weekend poll. The specifics are worse than the total:

"Indiana Men, Democrats, & Young Voters Move Away From Obama: In a Democratic Primary in Indiana today, 04/14/08, three weeks until the primary, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 55% to 39%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for WCPO-TV Cincinnati and WHAS-TV Louisville. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released two weeks ago, Clinton is up 3 points, Obama is down 4 points. Clinton had led by 9 at the beginning of April, leads by 16 mid-month. Here's where the movement is occurring: Among men, Obama had trailed by 2, now trails by 12, a 10-point swing to Clinton. In greater Indianapolis, Obama had led by 12, now trails by 1, a 13-point swing to Clinton. Among Democrats, Obama had trailed by 12, now trails by 27, a 15-point swing to Clinton. Among voters focused on health care, Clinton had led by 10, now leads by 30, a 20-point swing to Clinton. Among the youngest voters, Obama had led by 19, now trails by 2, a 21-point swing to Clinton."

SurveyUSA Election Poll #13712

Pennsylvania poll:

Mar 26-27: Clinton 51% Obama 39%
Apr 5-6: Clinton 45% Obama 45%
Apr 11-13: Clinton 57% Obama 37%

The debate this Wednesday is going to be the most exciting one yet! Obama must do something to change the tide back in his favor.

What are your predictions on what he will do or say?

What Will Obama Do to Change the Tide Back in His Favor?

Easy. Ignore Hillary, and just go about his business without being sidetracked. Problem there, though. She is drinking beer with everybody. Looks like she wants to get them drunk so they will like her, and forget that she is a liar.

I was thinking he should take a trip to Iraq to dodge some sniper fire. Then he could go on TV and cry a couple times.

Have you seen the footage from this weekend's Saturday Night Live? I tried to find it on You Tube because it is just hilarious.

I will. Maybe because it just happened this weekend, it's not there yet. They showed it on MSNBC, and independent_thinker, I was laughing so hard! I can't wait to find it and post it!

Does this work? Gothamist: SNL Increases Its Skewering of Clinton

(I can't see the footage right now--let me know.)
